And that's how I feel about most filter pedals. Most of them do one trick, and it's a good trick, but I'd like them to do more. What intrigued me about the proteus, and the gyroscope, is the random almost arppegiatic sound it they have. I think the gyrscope would be more versatile, soundwise, but would be harder to incorporate when playing with other people.

I'm more or less looking for something that will push me farther as a guitarist. I guess you could say I'm looking for that new sound...

There is a switch in the latest version of the Proteus (inside the pedal)... BP (Band Pass) mode filter like the first version... LP (Low Pass) mode more like an auto wah.
I prefer the BP mode.
You can get some sound similar to Neil Young Le Noise in the tap mode.
I would never sell or trade this pedal.

as part of following this thread i've been looking at demos of the boxes mentioned, and i'm liking the Gyroscope a lot. i'm particularly intrigued by the idea of using a filter pedal to induce a sort of rhythmic warbling that i can use as a rhythm element in the same way one uses delay, vibrato, and/or modulation.
